Stopped downloading Podcasts 'cos not listened for few days

Why does I-Tunes stop downloading my Podcasts when I've not listened to them for a few days? How do I turn this annoying function OFF?

It's an option the Podcast producer has chosen to help save them money on downloads that are not listened to. Although Apple provide the function, the choice to set it is down to the Podcaster, not Apple.
This is not correct: it's inherent in iTunes, see this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
which states:
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.
There is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):

  • Query with SQL-SP gives error, if not used for few days

    Hi All,
    I have observed that if we do not use some of queries (which usage SQL SPs) for few days, then it stops working.
    But when we go in SQL and execute the SP, the query in SAP starts working, without making any change either in query or the SQL-SP.
    Can anybody throw light on this ? I guess it has some connection with SQL-SP behaviour.
    Thanking you in advance ,

    Hi Gordon,
    Please note the function of the SP is to bring selected data from tables, for example to bring Purchase details (I have copy pasted the SP at bottom of this message).
    These are not SP_notif...
    These SPs are called from the SBO query.
    Once we execute the SP in SQL, then it starts working with SBO also.

  • How do I turn off the feature that stops downloading podcasts because I haven't listened for a period of time?

    iTunes automatically stops downloading podcasts when I haven't listened to them for some arbitrary period of time. I want to turn this off so it always downloads.

    iTunes will stop updating a podcast subscription if you have more than five episodes downloaded but not listened to, as detailed in this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
    which states:
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:

  • After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    I had this problem with some podcasts immediately after updating to iOS 5. In order to resolve the issue, I did this:
    1- Deleted/unsubscribed from all my podcasts.
    2- Synced to my iPhone.
    3- Resubscrubed to all my podcasts.
    4- Downloaded all podcast episodes I wanted. (You could instead restore from a backup if some episodes are no longer available for download.)
    5- Synced to my iPhone.

  • Material Description is not displaying for few records in Report

    Dear Experts,
    Report Material Description is not displaying for few records in Bex Report but for records it is coming and even the heading of the material Description is also not coming for this report.
    Cud u plz suggest a good solution for it.
    Regards,
    Sai Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    For the text of the material in records, check if there is text maintained for that material in the master data. also try by changing the text to medium text and long text.
    regarding header, you will have same heading for key and text, you may use Materail ID / Description as the heading if you want.
    regards,
    Rk.

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • How can i shut down depreciation for an Asset for few days??

    Hi Friends,
    How can i shut down depreciation of a particular Asset for few days say 5 days??
    I have done the necessary changes in Time dependent tab like checked asset shut down and in AFAMA i changed the shut dawn as YES.
    The only problem i am in is "how can i maintain the 5 days like from 10.05.2009 to 14.05.2009
    If i go to MORE INTERVALS then only From date is available over there.There is no To date opition.
    How can i maintain To Date??
    Plz suggest.
    Regards,
    Sumaya

    Hi
    Go for shut down approach. But your depreciation key should allow shut down. check your depreciation key configuration
    In asset master data
    Go to time dependent terms,
    Define the appropriate time interval for shutdown
    Set the shutdown indicator
    The system does not calculate the depreciation for the shut down period,
    The useful life of the asset will increase to the extent of shutdown period.
    When you remove the shutdown indicator, system automatically resumes the depreciation calculation.

  • ABAP Program gives error after running  successfully for few days / months

    I have a problem that sometimes my programs start giving errors or does not run at all after successfully running for few days / months.
    But, when I copy the same program with a different name (without any changes ) it starts running again.
    Yesterday I had another problem. I was sending a request to be transported to Production Client, and the request was not getting transported. But when I changed just the name of the program, It was transported to Production Client.
    I can't understand where the problem lies and what happens to the programs after running successfully for few days. All I have to do is just copy that programm into another name and it starts running.
    Can anyone help me?
    Regards,
    SK Daniel

    about the transport thing..i had the same problem few months back the reason was,  i included a table which is having different package  from my program..so wot im thinking is when you creating a different program u might be assigning different package to this new program  and this package is same as all the tables included in your program...

    Try using this tool to search for apps which are compatible with older iPhones:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    I did a search for GPS and founds lots of compatible apps. You might try typing GPS -tomtom to eliminate the tomtom apps.
    WhatApp isn't compatible with the older devices, but enter Texting in the search box to find many texting apps which should work.
